Thank you to everyone for your effort and dedication.”
This Award is in recognition of the Te Korowai o Papatūānuku Project, working in partnership with Ngāti Te Ata, to propagate and supply landowners and iwi 250,000 plants over 4 years to restore streams, protect wetlands, connect precious remnant forests, and enhance sites of cultural significance.
